Limited to just 99 copies, this collector’s gem transcends the ordinary, housed in a luxurious wooden box that adds a touch of sophistication to the listening experience. Encased within this splendid box is not only the vinyl and accompanying 28-page booklet but also a 40-minute cassette titled Magnetic Tape 88-90 featuring seven previously unreleased tracks. Culled from recordings spanning the years ’88 to ’90, this exclusive cassette provides a rare glimpse into Konagaya’s artistic evolution during that period. This limited edition includes the original piece Schlafen from Organ, extending to a mesmerizing 20 minutes—a sonic odyssey capturing the essence of the album in a profoundly extended format
Taking immense pleasure in unveiling the exquisite vinyl reissue of Jun Konagaya’s seminal solo album, titled Organ. Originally presented in 2012 on the CD digital medium, this opus marks Konagaya’s inaugural solo venture, distinctly departing from his earlier collaborative endeavors under the monikers Grim and White Hospital. A prodigious figure in the Japanese noise and industrial landscape, Grim left an indelible mark in the 1980s with its dark, luminous allure. After a series of live performances and select sonic releases, Grim mysteriously receded from the scene. However, in 2009, the complete sound sources of Grim resurfaced under Konagaya’s meticulous curation, hinting at a potential resurgence
The auditory journey presented in Organ is a far cry from the abrasive feedback and primal roars that characterized Grim’s sonic palette. Instead, Konagaya embarks on a melodic exploration of melancholy, akin to the ethereal folk sensibilities glimpsed in Grim’s Message. Immerse yourself in the transcendental depths of Organ, a testament to Jun Konagaya’s evolution as an artist and his mastery in crafting emotionally nuanced, sonically captivating narratives. This release beckons connoisseurs of experimental music and beyond, offering a symphony that resonates with both the aficionado and the uninitiated alike
